Oooopss. Repairing Bivvy

[Zoe]

Hi guys.

I went out fishing recently in the rain, then I thought I would be clever
and leave the bivvy in the car port to dry out.

Well, a mouse decided it would also make a good material to waterproof it's
nest with!

Holes are covering approx 8 inches diameter on the outer canvas.

Any ideal on repair solutions?

The proper way:
Order a bit of the correct material, find someone with an industrial sewing
machine, patch and reproof.

The lateral way:
Trim hole neatly. Glue a sheet of heavy-grade transparent pvc (use proper
pvc adhesive) over hole. It will be much stronger if you stitch it round the
edge and glue a strip of pvc over the stitching inside and out. Call it a
window.

Cheerio,

If it was actually canvas! it could not be easier. get a patch stiched in
and reproof.

Ah - the wonders of duct tape - use it on either side and it will be
waterproof in minutes
